Freedom from Official Corruption as a Human Right
By Matthew Murray and Andrew Spalding
FREEDOM FROM OFFICIAL CORRUPTION ! ! !
International law does not currently regard an act of official corruption as the violation of a
human right. But as recent steps by Chinese leaders, political shifts in India, the EuroMaidan
in Ukraine, and the Arab Spring all reflect, an international consensus is emerging that corruption
is a pervasive and pernicious social problem, structural obstacle to economic growth and
threat to global security. Governments and international bodies have widely adopted principles,
laws and tools for countering corruption both domestically and transnationally. Still, the anticorruption
architecture is not working as planned whether to assure effective enforcement, induce
voluntary changes in official behavior, or protect the victims. In order to place anti-corruption
norms upon a stronger conceptual foundation, prioritize anti-corruption enforcement as a matter
of policy, and focus that enforcement on improving the lives of corruption’s victims, we argue for
acknowledging freedom from official corruption as a fundamental and inalienable human right.
